Only stop if it's absolutely pouring and clothes soaked through and of course if the customer moans!

I have to say I get a few good tips when it rains - they must feel sorry for me, but they see that  I am dedicated an are impressed.

I work up to and including moderate rain.  I won't usually work if it's heavy.
My take on it is this:  You lose far more income by not working in rain than you do by losing the odd customer that won't allow it.

Never thought of it like that before. That's given me food for thought.

theres nothing wrong with working in the rain if you get the same resalts i think everyone should man up a bit and get on with it. Its only rain

just my humble view here but rain is irrelevant, the only thing that is a problem is wind, wind is the one that blows all sort of cr*p onto the windows not rain

and that is trad or wfp
